MoRGANATIC UNIONS.
An Unnatural Restriction Recognized
 Among the Scions of Royalty.

An Unnatural Restriction Recognized
 Among the Scions of Royalty.
 For centuries past the rule rigidly enforced by successive crowned heads of Europe has been that members of their families shall not marry out of a certain boundary-thatis, shall always marry members of their own or a few other royal families. If ever 3 Prince OF Princess, yielding to the natural in- f1uence of affection, should marry out of this select circle, such union is not recognized by any of the exclusively 'illustrious'' persons who belong to it. The marriage may be solemnized in the most regular manner by duly qualified clergyman, but the etiquette of royalty declares that it is null and void from first to last and hat it's fruits shall be illegitimate. So much recognized is this exclusive and unnatural restriction, that all such marriages are called morganatic, a Germapized term, derived from mor- gen, morning, and gifu, gift, alluding to dowry which used to be paid the morning after marriage, when this dowry was given and received in lieu of all other dowry, and also of rights of inheritance that might fall to the issue r of such marriages. Sometimes it is called a left-handed marriage, proba- ,bly becarse it was believed that the royal parsonage contracting it gave the golden ring to the bride with the left hand, and not as in all other cases, with the, right. Any person not of blood-royal, who contracts, such mar riage, knows, beforehapds that he or she is not publicly recognized as hus- band and wife, and that the children from such marriage can neither enjoy the rank nor inherit the possessions of the superior party.-BoStos Budget

QUEENS HORSES.
The Use to Which Turtles Are Put Along
 the Amazon River.


 Some years ago, said q friend, who was famous trayeler, and with whom was exchanging turtle experi- ences, 'Gfound myself up the Amazon so far that 1 imagine I was the only really white man in the country. The natives and half-bred Portuguese held undisputed possession. I Twas we'll re- ceiveds everywhere, the people being extremely hospitable, and among the curious things that noticed was that almost every family kept turtles just as we do pigs. In other words, attached to nearly every little house was pen or corral in which one. or more turtles were confined as the family meat supply, and killed as occasion re- | quired. The turtles were extremely large, some weighing two hundred and fifty pounds, and were three feet in length, and proportionately stout and bulky. I found that they formed one of the most important articles of diet in the country, and many of the natives earned living by catching and selling them to the richer people.
 
 My first glimpse at these huge tur- ties was at small hut where ob- served a child sitting in bath tub made of the shell of one, and this led to my becoming acquainted with the originals, for my host observing my in-c terest in the animals told me that a regularly-organized hunt was to take place in a few days, and as his men were going he invited me to join them. On the morning of the hunt we went to little settlement about five miles up the river, and there waited for the entire party, the members of which were ar irving every minute in their canoes in fours and fves.- Having some time to wait went ashore and strolled about, and at one of the houses 1 found that the turtles in their usefulness were not restricted to food but were utilized by the native children as perambulat- ors. Hearing a shouting in one of the corrals I looked over the fence and there were two little urchins, each mounted on a large turtle, and eyi- dently racing, as each rider sat astride of the shell, and with piece of bam- boo split at the end urged the phleg' matic steeds along at pace which might have been mile week, as the turtles, aroused at the noise of the blow. would scramble ahead foot, for it certainly could not be felt; but the moment their heads protruded far enough to see the diminutive rider they would take alarm. draw in neck, tail and feet, and stop suddenly to re- cover courage and repeat the maneu- yer moment later-the riders vary ing the performance by standing upon the backs of their steeds and frisking about like circus riders.

thought at times in the stiffness 1 heard the flowing of the rapid river. 1 soon forgot the annoyances of the calm the rattIing cow-bells. and the hard poles, in admiration of a scene such as I may never see again!
 At four o'clock the herdsmen rose; the stone hut containing the little dairy was opened, and by daylight had been initiated into the mysteries of making the ''Schabziger cheese" The process was not greatly different from that used in making other Swiss cheese. It differed in detail, hut the great secret lay in the use of certain herb, which gives the cheese it's deli cious flavor and peculiar color. This herb does not grow in America, nor is it to be found anywhere outside of the little district of Laachen, by the Garus Alps. It is called cheese clover, or melitlotuS coeruleG.
 These cheeses are little bits of green things, the shape of teacups, and they are shipped from Glarus as great deli cacies to many quarters of the earth. Our common sage cheese is an imitation of them. When the autumn comes, these senns and their herd of cows will go down the mountain for the winter. The men will wear .wreaths of roses, and the pretty cows will have festoons of roses around their horns, and all the villagers will turn out to welcome them, with song and dance.
 It is the harvest of the dairy. The cows do not belong to the six senns on the mountain only; they are the prop erty of ali the villagers, and the COW that is reported as having produced the most milk while on the Alps, will be rewarded with new bell, and will be called the queen COW of the village for a year.

ANT WORKERS.
t MBride.

How the Nurses Who Tend the Baby
 Ants Are PrOtected-The Fighters
 Shall tell you a story of two little sisters who went berrying one bright summers day? They picked and picked away until they had filled their baskets, and then they set out for home On their way they felt tired and sat down to rest. And where do you think they sat? Why, on the side of mound that some ants had built wish you could have seen those ants come out. They are very angry little creatures when they think any one is disturbing their home. They stung these little girls heads and hands, so the girls thought. But the ants did not really sting them. They bit them and then put into the wounds tiny drop of poison which made the wounds sting and burn.
 The mounds which these little work CTS build are from one to three feet in height, and from two to thirteen feet wide.
 These mounds are connected by coy cred streets which are dug by the ants themselves. Parts of these roads are tunnels, like the tunnel of the Hoosac railroad. Other parts are like little ditches, and have a roof of sticks. leaves and earth. It is thought that these roads are made for the nurses, to protect them from the enemies of ants, about which you will hear by and by. Because if the nurses should be killed, the baby ants would die for want of care. If you or I should happen to disturb one of these roads, away would go whole host of ants to re- pair them.
 The mounds are full of little rooms where the baby-ants are cared for. Some people think the mounds are built on purpose for the babies and their nurses. For the other ants seem to work outside and have no need of the covered streets in order to protect themselves.
 If those ant-babies should all begin to cry what a noise there would bel A thousand babies crying at once, and the nurses walking the floor with them would certainly make a stir in the house! The nurse-ants do keep run ming up and down stairs great deal fit be too hot or cold, or too wet, the baby-ants must be carried up or down stairs, as the case may be.
 The mound-builder ant is a delicate but wide-awake ant. When these ants advance upon their enemies, they bite right and left, but hop about merrily, to avoid being bitten themselves. If they are fighting with larger ants, they jump up on their backs and seize them by the neck. That does not seem hard lv fair, does it? And what seems meaner still, three or four will capture one of their foes, and each will pull a different way so that the poor creature can not escape. Then one of them will spring upon its back and saw its head of.
 These ants like sweet things to eat; so when you go to visit their city you must carry some candy, that they may have little feast.-F'Gntase 4. DeGT'e, in Our Little Hen and WoDee11.

READING FOR THE YOUNG.
HOW TO SUCCEED.

If in this world you would succeed,
 You must be brave and true; Don't stand aloof and slight your work Because 'tis hard to do. If troubles come and sorrows rise,
 Then show yourself a man; Let courage nerve you for your work, And do the best you can, And in your study or your play,
 Determine to excel; Don't lag behind, but ''hoe your row. And strive to hoe it well. Ir all your play, in all your work,
 Just try the golden plan; Be ready, active, brave and bold,
 And do the best you can. Lifes battle now is fairly on,
 And there is work tO do. Will you be active in the fight,
 And to your colors true? You see the men around you now
 Who thus their lives began; Then courage take, brave efforts make, And do the best you can.

EASTER MORN.

Ere yet the shadowy mountain-tops Were silvered with the light, Or of the lilies slipped the drops
 Won from the dewy night; Ere yet the mornings incense curled O CT the glimmering Galilee, The grave had yielded to the world Its awful mystery. - Through all the night the pallid stars Watched trembling o'er the tomb, And Olivet wrapped all it's scars
 Deep in the fragrant gloom; The world one instant held its breath, When from the flashing Heaven Gods angel swept, more strong than death, And death s dark bonds-were riven. Forth from the sepulchre,s embrace Behold the Conqueror come! O morning sun, unvail thy face!
 O earth, no more be dumb! From century to century The pean now shall ring O grave, where Is thy victory!
 O death, where is thy stings .

A SUCCESSFUL SALE.

Every Lot in the MARS tract
Sold at Auction.
On Saturday night Armory Hall
was crowded with people who desired
to purchase lots in the o. J. Mairs
tract. Considerable attention had
beer drawn to this sale and great
interest was awakened as to its
result, from the fact that the property
is located near the supposed site of
the new Southern Pacific Railroad
depot. The tract was divided into
eighty lots, averaging 40x120 feet,
and brought from $405 to 81 800, the
total price realised from the sale being
$71,175. Lots fronting on Central
avenue and on Eighth street COM
manded the largest prices, ranging
from 500 to $1,000, the corner of
both streets bringing the latter price.
The land comprised thirteen acres,
and was purchased about a month
ago by H. u. Osborne and Messrs.
Day, Hinton and Mathes, for $39, 900.
The sale was held under the auspices
of the Los Angeles Land Bureau, of
Easton, Eldridge & Co., for whom
Colonel H. o. Weller officiated as
auctioneer.
